#esther #Purim

I thought the message that Purim is about celebrating our partnership with HaShem an interesting one.

Good Morning and Welcome to the 5th Hexamester! We are in a great time, the counting of the Omer leading up to Shavuot. A great time for introspection and adjusting your inner self, for the giving of the Torah!
So the final volume of Rebbe Nachman's Torah is like out of stock. Those who do have it are charging 1.5 times the normal price!! Had to settle for the kindle edition:)
Ten miracles were performed for our forefathers in the Temple: No woman had a miscarriage from the scent of the meat; and no holy flesh ever went putrid; and a fly was not seen in the room of slaughtering; and a High Priest did not have an accidental emission on Yom Kippur; and rain did not extinguish the fire of the wood pile; and the wind did not overpower the pillar of smoke; and there was not found a disqualification in the omer (a special barley offering, offered the day after Pesach, which permits grain harvested in the new harvest to be eaten) or in the two breads or in the showbreads; they would stand up crowded and bow down with [enough] space; and a snake or scorpion never hurt a person in Jerusalem; and a person did not say to his fellow, "The place is too cramped that I should lodge in Jerusalem." Pirkei Avot 5
I am down physically today. I spent 7 hours getting the duck pond back in shape. What a mess! My old body just doesn't like to work that hard especially when it is 95º.

I received this from Rabbi Sacks for this week's Parashah. I just had to share it with all of you. I know as a community we are spread out and sometimes we are not aware of the needs we each have. However, we are a community, a family and I certainly do care about each and everyone of you. Being able to pray for each other, rejoice when a new life comes into this world, cry when we hear of suffering just makes us stronger and bonded.

LEVITICUS 25:35 TLT
When your brother becomes impoverished and loses his ability to support himself in the community, you must come to his aid. Help him survive wether he is a proselyte or a native.

It's been a while since we have seen any new faces on "Cup of Joe with Jo". 12:45pm CDT. Just the ladies of Assemble Together getting together to chat for a while. No agenda, no study, just visiting about our lives, activities, children, recipes, etc. Hope some of you can join us tomorrow!
LIFE-CHANGING IDEA #34

If you seek to learn, grow, pursue truth and find freedom, seek places that welcome argument and respect dissenting views.
If you are interested in cashing in on the new wave of members. Please let me know ASAP. If you are a teacher and you are interested in teaching in the new school year, you need sign into the Partner Network. https://assemble-together.net You will also need to comply with our expectations for A-T participation. Communication is key! Many accounts will be switched over to Free Account status over the next few weeks. Please take this seriously, as Free Accounts will lose access to Office 365 and Skype for Business.

Excitement is in the air! Are you on-board?
